If you're looking for designers, problem solvers, architects etc then it would be good to know what kind of experience is useful.Comment

I have seen this all before (although not the pandemic stuff)
IR35 was introduced in 2000, with deemed payments due in April 2001, just a few months before a nasty bear market put a lot of us out of work for many months and when we did eventually find work it was on much lower rates.Comment

Originally posted by sira View PostThey will improve. The question is at what pace? We are living through the greatest economic crisis since the 1700's, plus brexit & IR35 as the cherry on top.
I constantly keep getting approached for permanent jobs, its getting infuriating. Another dangerous trend is that some employers are disguising contract work as permanent roles. Its usually blindingly obvious from the job spec/requirements. I've been seeing this more and more recently.Comment

And there is a valid concern that without IR35 far more people would be dragged into fake self-employment. As I've pointed out for years we are rarely the people involved here we are usually just collateral fallout.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Anyone had any thoughts on the upcoming negative interest rates? I haven't done a huge amount in the financial world but none of the systems I've worked on has handled the scenario.
Or will this kind if work be easily weapped up and sent over to India?Comment
